Changelog · v1.6.3 · 2026-06-12

Draw on your screen while recording — Limelight 1.6.3

Pick up a pen with ⌃⌥3 and draw circles, arrows, or any mark directly on screen.

Freehand drawing (⌃⌥3) turns your cursor into a pen so you can annotate your screen mid-recording. Circle a button, underline a sentence, or sketch a quick arrow — the marks appear live on top of whatever app you are showing.

Choose the pen color from the Limelight palette and adjust the thickness with ⌃⌥+ and ⌃⌥−. Undo a stray stroke with ⌃⌥Z, or wipe the canvas clean with ⌃⌥C.

Drawing pairs with the cursor spotlight and region spotlight to give you a full live annotation toolkit without ever switching apps.

What's new
